I had a fairly simple question, and please don't take it as a knock to any CM devs. My understanding is that the Nexus 4 (mako) is a device that google releases the entire build tree for, including all drivers for 4.3. I noticed that even today CM 10.2 doesn't have a stable build, and there is only about a week of nightlies. I've seen other devices like the Kindle Fire that are not Google devices get CM 10.2 faster than the Nexus 4. Does anyone know why that is? Again, I'm not knocking any developers/ports; I'm just curious as to what goes in to the development of the nexus devices.

Well, the CM team are probably having a hard time with dead locks in AOSP 4.3. That's why no AOSP 4.3 based ROM isn't considered "stable".
There is no 10.2 stable for any device yet. Cm don't release stable or RC builds until the rom is considered stable and bug free on most devices.
So I used the cm installer to get 10.2 snapshot? And now I'm about to update to I guess the stable version of 10.2 through settings - About phone - system updates. By doing this will this delete all of my data. (Sorry I'm a noob at this stuff).:silly: I'm using a nexus 4 BTW.. L

Being a total Android n00b, I just finished converting my SE X10 mini pro from stock to MiniCM-2.1.9+ nAa-11 kernel, and now I want to go on taking care of my ZTE Blade, but as far as I have seen by now, development for the ZTE Blade is quite different.
The official stable CM7 seems to be stuck at 7.1.0 since autumn, somewhere it was mentioned that nightlies have been discontinued, I could not find any info on kernel development, and progress only goes on with builds called KANGs?
Has official CM7 development shifted to CM9 only?
Can someone explain please, what KANG means?
Which CM 7.2 KANG is the current recommendation (I read about targetBSP, BurgerZ, burstlam and sej7278) and what are the differences?
You can say these as unofficial nightlies built by other people with their own small modifications but with all the official CM updates.
The names you mentioned are the one who built them
The one that i found fastest was the burstlam build but they're all pretty similar....except..targetbsp's version is more like a vanilla version meaning using all official cm updates only no extra mods etc. s
CM7 is still being developed, the only thing that stopped were the nightly builds, think it was hd failure on the server or something. CyanogenMod recently took donations for new servers, so they should be back up & running soon.
KANGs are just versions built from CM7 source, but not by CyanogenMod. There isn't much real development going on with them. They're just more recent because the CM7 nightly builds stopped months ago.

Go for Burstlam's build. Has good options for UI customisation and also has lesser battery consumption.

With the new Nexus 4, will the Cyanogen Mod team have to start fresh with new Nightly's CM11 based off Android 4.2 ? How long until those first Nightly's are available to flash ? Few days after Nexus 4 release, or we talking weeks a month ?

Probably a solid month, I don't think this will motivate a CM11. They'll most likely keep 10 and wait until the next big, big push before they bump to 11. The "K" release, or whatever.
codeworkx already posted on twitter about his excitement over this device. Selling his I9300 and using the left over money to buy an N4 and then get drunk with the rest lol

Given that they don't have a 10.1 release out yet, that's doubtful.
Its still CM10 that's a definite. They go by the name of the android version (Jellybean) which starts with a "J" which is the 10th letter of the alphabet, thus CM10.

For shure it will be cm 10 most probably cm10.1, cm 11 will be kye lime pie
You have a thanks button and don't know what to do with it? ...

Either way who cares what its called. I just want it on my gs3 and n4 when i get it.
It seems like more and more CM features are being put into stock android, not sure if it is even worth it to run CM roms anymore.

CM will always be worth it in my eyes. However, Google is certainly being awesome by including so much more stock customization over time, Android 4.2 even brings lockscreen widgets and notification toggles!

CyanogenMod based off the 4.2 will be 10.1 according to the release statement on the CyanogenMod blog featured here:
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/cyanogenmod-10-0-release
"Android 4.2 will become CyanogenMod 10.1 and we will provide an update on our Google+ when nightlies with the 4.2 code begin."

I already miss the notification bar buttons and the "no wallpaper" but yeah you can tell a lot has been adopted or was in the pipeline at the same time.

With the blistering sucess of cm10....they will definately move on to a new upgraded version..and i guess we all are waiting for it... DESPERATELY !!
Does that mean if cm10 doesnt succeed we wont receiving cm11?
If the rumours are true Google is doing an android 4.3 instead of android 5.0 so wouldn't that make it cm10.2?

Did you actually necro a thread dead for 6 months just to say that? :/
There's no point in speculating anything here. Really. We'll have CM of every new AOSP release, that's for sure. And it doesn't make any difference if it was called CM6343494566.64646, for instance.
I know this is a development forum,but I wanted to raise attention for the new build of CM 7 with continuous update,I like the CM 9.10 work here but I think they need more work to be ready for daily use.
so I strongly recommend the new CM 7

Any important changelog? The last 7.2 stable is quite stable
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#legend/cm7/next
but it is till 15/11
I am using the nightlies for some time now, from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=legend. However, I was wondering what the changes in the last nightly are, filesize is different from previous,but changelog says No changes.
Anybody knows?

Last nightly from March 1st, it's no longer building them?
There's really no more point in CM7 nightlies if no more features are going to be announced and added to CM7 legacy devices. Unfortunately, users of these devices are content with CM7 as they are or else they'd buy a more powerful device, given how it's >3 years old.
I guess the nightlies until March were meant as flexibility to those unable to run the CM7 stable series.
As much as I'd hate to say it, if you want more out of Android and custom ROMs, I guess you're going to have to upgrade.
Hello all. I've done a search and have tried to read through all the forums to no avail. I'm wondering why there isn't (or hasn't been, ever) a stable release of CM10 for the Mako.
I've used a Galaxy i9000, then moved on to a Moto Atrix, and both devices would have nightlies, and eventually have a stable release, somewhat like a milestone of sorts. For the Mako (http://get.cm/?device=mako) there's NEVER been a Stable release and it's all been nightlies and/or experimental builds.
Is there a particular reason why there aren't any Stable releases for the N4? Or is this the way it really should be.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stable release will be ready next week. I'm sure others can confirm.
There were Mako milestone builds, I think.
The nightlies are rock solid, though. Might as well be a stable release.
The nightlies are pretty stable though , just really small unnoticable bugs
Sent from my Nexus 4
There are no stable releases of cm10.1 yet because it isn't done. You flash nightlies or flash the monthly milestone builds until cm10.1 is finalized.

Hi,
I just got a Nexus 4 and love the device. I come from a HTC Sensation and used to run CM.
I am running stock 4.3, non rooted but lack some options.
I would like to ask your advice on what to do, should I;
- Unlock / root and flash CM 10.1? (should I flash a custom kernel?)
or
- Stay on stock until a stable CM 10.2 releases or wont this release for a couple of months?
I dont want to hassle with nightly builds, just want a stable daily driver and dont want to flash every week.
Thanks guys!
Wait for 10.2. Kindle fire CM 10.2 has already been released so I can imagine that it won't be long.

I hope you do realize that even nightly releases are quite stable on the Nexus 4? Unless you're doing some hardcore mission critical work, I'd say 10.2 nightlies are just as stable as 10.1
I'm not one of those flashaholics who will flash broken builds and half broken features just to have the latest new gimmick, so when I'm telling you it's solid, I mean it. CM10.2/Android 4.3 does have its issues, and I'd say the biggest is the battery drain issue that has to do with location services. If you're willing to disable half the features of location services, then the issue is less apparent, but to me 10.2 is good enough for me to run as a daily driver. I'd say the issue is more of an Android 4.3 rather than a CM 10.2 issue. So even if you go with a stable ROM like AOSP, you're doomed with battery the same as CM.

Thanks, I didnt realise this, the experience I had with nighly releases is not that good. After reading this I am considering to flash 10.2
I tried 4.3 and liked it quite a bit but I decided to stay on my favourite ROM (not cm but sabermod) on 4.2.2 until it gets updated to 4.3
and I haven't looked back
